    Thumbs up positive communication with 800TGI

    Update some info for those of us with old lathes running Fagor 800T controls

    I will tell you I have had zero success until today with communicating with my lathe. Probably 8 solid days invested getting to this point.

    Here are the fact:

    laptop computer running windows 11
    Fagor download of WinDnc V6.2
    Startech USB to 9 pin RS232 adapter ( download the driver www.starttech.com/ICUSB232V2 )

    modified the pin out on a older RS232 cable as follows

    cnc side -------- Computer side

    2 to 2
    3 to 3
    7 to 5

    join together wires
    5,6,9 8,6,4

    9600 Baud rate, Data bit 8, parity none, stop bit xon/xoff

    Parameter 606 11001010

    This has allowed me to transfer files.

    Now I just have to figure out my post processor for Fusion360. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know. Currently I get an error 34 - strange character.
    I have been working on note pad to see what I can change.



    (This Does Not work ***********The manual for my machine says 9600 Baud rate, Data bit 7, parity none, stop bit 1
    xon/xoff)

    Sorry haven't looked at the forum in a long time. I had some success. Paid $550 US to have a post processor written
    It works with Fagor's windnc some what.
    I've had to do alot of experiment to try to figure out whst characters or spaces it doesn't like. I have used a few programs successfully.
    Machine electrical issue plagued me this year. Still are. Randomly get a brown screen and servos power down. Can't find a single physical issue. Then randomly the next time I turn it on it works and runs for days....until it doesnt.
